Secrets
There are no official secrets on this map.

Bugs
The lift activated by a gargoyle switch which lowers down to the balcony with the plasma gun is actually comprised of two sectors (111 and 112, tagged 8) of different brightness, however the linedefs that connect them (1003 and 1004) have no lower textures on either side. Thus if either the player or one of the several enemies in the area happen to prevent only one of the sectors from completing its lift action on its way up, a hall of mirrors effect will occur.

Speedrunning
As this level does not contain official secrets, the NM 100S category is redundant.
